Three years old! “Wellspring of Life” and granddaughter Rielyn Jolene are celebrating another birthday! As my longtime readers know and for the benefit of those more recently added, I published my first post the evening of Rielyn’s birth in 2010 and dedicated the “Wellspring” blog to her. In annual celebratory fashion, it brings me joy […]

When have you experienced the kiss of the King? As I sat down to write this post, that question was in my mind. So, I first tried to answer it myself before I asked it of you… Was it as a sick year-old baby in the hospital when I needed comfort? Was it as a […]
